How can I improve my facial profile to create more balance? (Photos)

Question

I am wanting to improve my facial profile without having to undergo Rhinoplasty. What are some other aesthic procedures that could help improve or balance out my nose to the rest of my face, especially with re; to left side profile (rather happy with frontal).

Hi there Jake55. Thanks for posting your questions and photos.
The two key players in determining facial balance from a profile/side perspective is the nose and the chin. Your chin is adequately projected, and any further augmentation of your chin will deepen the chin groove, which will not be ideal. The prominence of your nose however, leads to a slightly top heavy feel to your face, and this can only be addressed through a rhinoplasty. There is however no non-surgical way to reduce a nose.
Hope this helps. All the very best.

Based on your photos- it appears that you would benefit from Rhinoplasty. In the right hands - I predict- you can expect a very pleasing outcome. However, since you're stating that you don't want to undergo surgery- then you should not have surgery. There is no  non-surgical way to address it and achieve a pleasing result such as with Rhinoplasty.

The best way to camouflage the nose is to augment the jawline. Chin and widening jaw angle implants could be considered. Your jaw angle asymmetry is always problematic if using standard jaw angle implants.

I'd say a rhinoplasty would get you the most bang for your buck.  If you didn't want a rhinoplasty I'd consider jaw implants.  Hard to say with the photos but your right jaw looks stronger than your left jaw.  If there was an asymmetry I would think about building up the left side the match the right.

in profile view, you have very adequate chin projection but your nose has a very slight hump and it is definitely over rotated which makes it look too short for your face and it would look especially short if you are a relatively tall individual.  There is no Jon surgical way other than a Rhinoplasty to improve your profile.  You need a small hump removal and a causal extension graft to make your nose appear less rotated and slightly longer.
